Mao Tuan always wants to attack me

The boy's praise made Bai Shuyu's face slightly flushed.

The emperor turned his gaze to the side in a little panic, coughed lightly and said, "Let's go, keep going."

Xiao Yuntian also smiled and said: "Well. Didn't you say that there will be a Lantern Festival in these two days, let's go to the front and buy two lanterns for fun."

Bai Shuyu didn't speak, but there was always a faint smile on his face.Xiao Yuntian suppressed the surge in his heart.To be honest, he likes Bai Shuyu's indifferent smile very much, it is more friendly than when he is cold, and he doesn't appear to be too abrupt.The two turned a corner and walked to the small river at the end of Mucheng Street.It was also brightly lit.

People bought lanterns of various shapes from shops, and some lit them and let them fly high into the sky, while others put them in small rivers.The gurgling river carried countless dots of lights drifting away into the distance.

"Hey, this is really a good scene!" Xiao Yuntian was gearing up, eager to try.It is a rare time for him to transform back into a human form, and he just wished he could visit all the fun places in one go, eat all the delicious things, and spoil the beauties around him to his full.

Bai Shuyu said: "In the world you came from, isn't there such a festival?"

Xiao Yuntian thought for a while, "Well...there were festivals, and we also had the custom of putting out lanterns, but it was a long time ago. In our generation, the activities of putting out lanterns gradually became less...and the form It's also different from the Lantern Festival in Baiguo." Xiao Yuntian was also a little moved when he saw that the lanterns in the shops on the bank of the river were selling so hot.

"Your Majesty, should we put one in too? It looks very interesting."

Bai Shuyu silently watched the children running past in front of them with various lanterns in their hands, hesitating for a moment.Just about to speak, suddenly stopped.

"Wait... the nightingale is coming!"

Following Bai Shuyu's gaze, Xiao Yuntian saw the nightingale who had disappeared for a long time.He rushed over from the crowd in a hurry, and the look on his face was obviously not right.

"The emperor... the subordinates are late. There is a situation."

"...It was 'he' who showed up, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The subordinates are incompetent, they failed to capture that man, and they hope to punish him..."

"You don't need to talk about that." Bai Shuyu waved his hand, pulled Nightingale closer to him, and examined it carefully.After confirming that he was safe, he said: "The situation here is complicated, and it is inconvenient to act. 'He' is in the dark, and you are in the light. It is understandable that you cannot catch him."

Nightingale gritted her teeth, her eyes revealed firm determination, "Your Majesty, the subordinates will eventually find him!"

Xiao Yuntian thought they were talking about Quan Gui at first, but then he thought about it, that Kuo Shao is an idiot, and he wouldn't let Nightingale go to great lengths to find him, plus Nightingale's pale face and messy clothes, it's obvious that he just Been through a fight.He couldn't help asking: "What is the 'he' you are talking about..."

"It's the person who has been following the emperor all this time." Nightingale replied, "He is a brilliant tracker, and he has been wandering outside the safe range without being discovered. This time, in the busy city, he finally couldn't help but wait for an opportunity to approach The subordinates were just about to go back to find the fairy group, but they happened to find 'him' who was sneaking close to here."

"You guys fought, right?" Xiao Yuntian couldn't help asking, "Who is that person? Is it a demon from the Demon Kingdom, or was it sent by Bai Qiming?"

"It's from the Bai country." Nightingale said, her face gloomy again.Xiao Yuntian noticed that there was a faint scar on Yeying's side face.This surprised him: Nightingale not only fought against that man, but was even injured, it seems that he must pay attention, that guy has a lot of background!

"Then, is he still around here?" Xiao Yuntian looked around anxiously, "That tracker... what does he want to do?"

"He has always been around us. There are people coming and going here, and various auras are intertwined in a chaotic manner. It is very troublesome to accurately perceive the aura of a certain person from so many people, not to mention that he can easily put himself Pretend, and then get close to the emperor." Nightingale sighed and looked at Bai Shuyu, "Your Majesty, tonight's operation has failed. We can only look for the next opportunity."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuntian also understood the emperor's real purpose of going out this time: he purposely came to the busy market, anticipating that the pursuers would take advantage of this opportunity to attack.As the saying goes, "lead the snake out of the hole".

However, it seemed that the "snake" that came today was stronger than they expected, and even Nightingale couldn't take him down.No wonder, when Bai Shuyu discovered the existence of the stalker, he never directly ordered to eliminate him.Thinking about it, he also knows that the tracker is extremely powerful, and he can't make a move at will if he is not sure.

"Then today... shall we still stay here?"

"Maybe it won't work today...the surroundings are restless."

Xiao Yuntian also sighed silently in his heart.Alas, I thought about setting up lanterns with the emperor before, but now it's a waste of time.But he smiled and said: "Safety comes first, and fun must be based on protecting personal safety. I understand the truth, and the overall situation is the most important thing."

Bai Shuyu saw Xiao Yuntian's thoughts, he said: "The Lantern Festival will last for two days. There is still a chance tomorrow night."

"That's good." Xiao Yuntian nodded, "I'll save my spiritual power first, and then I'll come out to play with the emperor later."

As he spoke, he handed the body of the hair ball in his arms to Bai Shuyu.

"See you tomorrow night, Your Majesty."

The young man waved his hand to bid farewell to the emperor, and the figure formed by gathering spiritual power gradually faded away until finally disappeared.Not long after, the hairy ball in Bai Shuyu's arms kicked his short legs twice, and opened his big purple eyes.

"Snoring..."

Looking at the cute hairball in his arms, the corners of Bai Shuyu's mouth rose, and a slight smile appeared in his long and narrow eyes.

"Let's go back."

=====

After returning to the post house to rest, they lived together peacefully all night.The next day, Bai Shuyu went out to meet the leader of the garrison in Mucheng. In order to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, he brought Mao Tuan with him.

While they were talking, Mao Tuan'er remained obediently aside, waiting quietly.At first he listened with great interest to Bai Shuyu and the group of high-ranking military officials talking about important military affairs, but later on, the conversation became more and more profound, and Xiao Yuntian listened more and more dull, and kept on listening. He was distracted for a while, and in the end, he just lay down on the small table and dozed off.

However, Xiao Yuntian still admires Bai Shuyu.If calculated according to human age, the two of them should be about the same age.Xiao Yuntian at this age is just an ordinary college student, while Bai Shuyu is already the ruler of a territory, military affairs, government affairs, economy, science and technology, people's livelihood... You must understand every aspect in order to be able to control your subordinates Those old fritter ministers.It's no wonder that the emperor would take out the book and read it seriously whenever he was free, constantly adding knowledge.

And what about myself?Ever since he came to another world, he eats, sleeps, rolls and acts cute every day, living like a salted fish.Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.My greatest achievement in Baiguo seems to be practicing the Soul Containing Art and transforming back into a human form. After all, isn't this still back to the starting point?

With a puffy face, Mao Tuan lay on the table for a while.He raised his eyes and saw Nightingale who had been silently guarding the door.

Strange, how could Mr. Chief Wei endure loneliness and stand motionless at the door like a national flag pole?The shadow guard is indeed an unusual creature.

Realizing that Youdao was looking at her secretly, Nightingale looked down and met Mao Tuan's big purple eyes.

"Snoring." Meeting Nightingale's eyes, Mao Tuan shook the hair on his head as a greeting.Seeing this, the corner of Nightingale's mouth twitched.He seemed to want to laugh a little, but his duties as the head of the guard did not allow him to laugh on solemn occasions.

After discovering this, Tuanzi made a nasty face at Nightingale.As a result, as soon as Chief Wei lowered his head, he could see Mao Tuan's eyeballs rolling around, his mouth wide open, and his long red tongue sticking out and bouncing non-stop.

The head of the guard blushed for a moment, and he moved his eyes to the other side with amazing willpower, forcing himself not to look at the hairball.

After flirting with Chief Wei for a while, Mao Tuan gradually lost interest again.After lying on the spot for a while, he dozed off lazily.

"Snoring..."

Bai Shuyu was discussing important matters with all the officers, and while talking, a slight snoring sound came suddenly.He sharply raised his head and looked in the direction, only to see the hairball with its limbs spread out, its round body stretched into a pancake shape, lying on the table in an extremely unsightly posture, and sleeping soundly. Nightingale stood with an embarrassed expression on her face.

Seeing Mao Tuan's funny sleeping appearance, the surrounding generals couldn't help feeling sleepy.The meeting has lasted for more than an hour, and everyone present is exhausted.

"Let's stop here." Bai Shuyu stood up, "I'll deal with the rest of the business later."

After saluting the emperor, the generals packed up their things, stood still and waited for the emperor to leave first.Bai Shuyu walked to the table, and ordered Nightingale to pick up the sleeping hair ball and follow behind, and walked out of the small building.

"Your Majesty, please stay."

Two generals came forward.One of them said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. There is a good restaurant in Mucheng, and I would like to invite the Emperor to have a meal."

Bai Shuyu paused, "That's good." He added, "I heard that Mucheng's fresh fish soup is quite famous, and I've always wanted to try it."

The carriage was listening in front of the biggest restaurant in Mu City.The store owner heard that there were generals coming, so he greeted them hastily, and invited them to the box on the second floor.

Mao Tuan, who smelled the fragrance of fish soup, woke up from his sleep.Open your eyes and take a look - hey, this looks like a restaurant?So it's finally time to eat?

Mao Tuan stretched out in Nightingale's arms, sucking saliva from his mouth.Hmm... what should I eat later?

Mao Tuan rubbed his eyes with the pads of his short claws, and was still in a daze, when he suddenly heard a loud shout: "Hey, isn't this the emperor? I didn't expect that someone here could greet the holy car here, haha Ha ha!"

As soon as the familiar voice came out, Xiao Yuntian immediately remembered that the owner of this voice was——

"Quan Gui."

Bai Shuyu looked at the beaming dude in front of him, frowned slightly, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Huh? Your majesty, you are joking. This restaurant is opened by a good friend of mine. Today I come here for a drink. Why can't I do it?" Quan Gui walked over in a big way, facing the two bewildered faces beside Bai Shuyu. The general saluted casually and called Uncle Uncle.

The two generals looked a little embarrassed, but they still bowed slightly and replied, "Young Master Quan."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Quan Gui waved his hand and asked with a smile, "Why did the two generals bring the emperor out for a drink today, and didn't call someone from Shangquan? Uncle Bobo obviously knows Quan the best... Hahaha, it's rare to see the emperor recently, I didn't expect to have such good luck today, to meet here, hahaha!"

Hearing what Quan Gui said, the two generals froze for a moment, sweating profusely on their foreheads.Seeing Quan Gui's domineering appearance, the two looked at each other uneasily.

Xiao Yuntian sized them up and down, and found that although Quan Gui looked like a son of an official family, and on the surface he politely called the two officers uncles, but the two elders were obviously very friendly. dread him.Xiao Yuntian guessed that either this Quan Gui's temperament is so weird that normal people don't dare to offend him, or that Quan Gui's family is very powerful and the two officers are afraid that they will not be able to afford it.Or is it both?Maybe.

One of the generals bowed to Bai Shuyu and said, "Hey, since Mr. Quan has something important to discuss with the emperor, then...do I need to retire first...?"

Bai Shuyu glanced at Quan Gui coldly: "No need. I have nothing to talk to him about."

Hearing this, Quan Gui was about to explode again.Nightingale hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "My lord, don't make any noise here. It would be inappropriate to attract others to know the emperor's whereabouts."

"Huh!" Quan Gui snorted heavily, "Then Quan will come to the emperor again tonight." After turning around, he muttered as he walked, "I don't believe it anymore, could it be that the emperor can always find excuses to avoid me?"

Looking at his generous back swaying away, Bai Shuyu frowned and looked gloomy.Seeing this, the two generals next to him were silent, not daring to speak out.It wasn't until the emperor continued to move towards the box that the two quietly wiped off their cold sweat and followed into the room.

The fish soup in Mucheng is really delicious. The steaming soup is full of natural fresh and strong fish fragrance, and the seasoning is just right, which makes the hairball appetite, and can't help but eat and drink heartily. Eat far more food than your body can handle.

However, if you drink soup for a while, your stomach will swell after a meal.After lunch, the dumplings were full, drank a full stomach of delicious fish soup, and lay down on the seat and hiccupped.This bad feeling lasted for a long time.On the way back to the post house, Tuanzi only felt unbearable abdominal distension, and he could even feel the fish soup shaking in his stomach when the carriage and horses bumped.It couldn't help rubbing its belly with the pads of its short claws, grunting and purring.

Bai Shuyu half leaned on the car seat to take a nap, but was awakened by a strange noise.At first he thought that Mao Tuan made strange noises on purpose to tease him, and felt very annoyed, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed Mao Tuan's round belly a few times.And this rubbing ruined the big deal—the hairball clenched his stomach, snoring loudly, rolled his eyes, and expressed pain.

Nightingale, who felt strange, came to check for a while, and said to Bai Shuyu: "Your Majesty, Xiantuan seems to be suffering from abdominal pain."

Bai Shuyu also saw the pain of Mao Tuan grinning his teeth, but there was no pity in his words: "Mao Tuan is the smallest on the table, but eats the most. It's strange that it doesn't have a stomachache."

"Huluhulu..." Mao Tuan lay on his back on the seat with his stomach in his hands, his tongue sticking out, and he was about to cry.

Seeing Tuanzi's decadent appearance, Bai Shuyu sighed and said, "That's all. Nightingale, you can find some hawthorn slices later, let Maotuan chew and eat."

In the afternoon meeting, Bai Shuyu and a group of people waited to talk inside, while Mao Tuan stayed at the small table outside, groaning with his stomach in his arms.I just ate a pack of hawthorn slices, but it still feels like it's going to explode.

Xiao Yuntian became anxious at the thought of accompanying the emperor to set off lanterns tonight.How can I do it like this?

After going crazy for a while, Mao Tuan rolled his eyes and looked at Nightingale who was standing guard not far away.

"Snoring." Mr. Chief Wei, our hands are so tired, can you rub my stomach for me?

Seeing Mao Tuan eagerly calling to him, the chief of the guard walked over.He squatted down, stretched out his hand with a reddish face, and gently rubbed the bulging belly.

"Snoring..."

As expected of a martial arts practitioner, his control of strength is really just right!Mao Tuan stretched out his body in a relaxed manner, enjoying the shadow guard's manual massage, and felt very comfortable for a while.Due to the close distance, he could clearly see Nightingale's side face.

Hey, it's strange, why is the scar on his left face still there?

Xiao Yuntian knew that Nightingale's own healing ability was extremely strong, and Feng Wuyang shot through the air. When the magic arrow came, Nightingale bravely stood in front of Mao Tuan, carried the two big moves forcefully, and immediately vomited blood and fell into a coma , but he recuperated quickly, and there was not a trace of scar left on his body.But today, his wound has not healed, and his face is gray all day long, and his eyes are often empty, listless.Could it be that he failed to catch the stalker yesterday, and that's why he's so lethargic today?

Noticing that Mao Tuanyuan's eyes were staring at her, Nightingale smiled, "Xiantuan, are you still comfortable?"

Woo hoo...it's ok.

Maotuan shook his body, and found that Nightingale was slowly injecting a small amount of true energy into his body, urging his internal organs to digest the food.And this method can be said to have an immediate effect - after a while, Xiao Yuntian only felt that his body and mind were comfortable, and his qi was also smooth.

The hairball stretched its limbs happily.

"Whoosh!"

After being cured of the flatulence problem by Chief Wei's coup, Xiao Yuntian stared at the man in front of him with bright eyes.Thinking about it carefully, this Nightingale can be regarded as one of the best men Xiao Yuntian has seen in another world - he is capable of writing and martial arts, loyal to the monarch, has outstanding temperament, and is also very handsome.Bai Shuyu has such an outstanding capable person, and it will definitely relieve a lot of hard work.

Perhaps it was also because of this that Xiao Yuntian would not feel nervous or jealous when seeing Nightingale closely following the emperor all the time.Because he knew that a loyal and open man like Nightingale would always truly consider the Emperor.Unlike the Quan Gui who came here to pester the emperor rascally, he looked like a domineering son of an official family. He had completely different painting styles from the emperor, neither in terms of character nor temperament.

Therefore, so far, Xiao Yuntian's "rival in love" has not yet appeared.The hairball turned its back to the sky, spread it into a pancake shape on the table, and whistled leisurely.

Sigh... Why hasn't the emperor finished the meeting yet? When will the wonderful night come?

"By the way... the emperor bought a small gadget at a wood shop earlier." Seeing Mao Tuan in a daze of boredom, Nightingale took out a small wooden flute from her bosom and placed it on Mao Tuan's belly. , "Xiantuan can try it."

Dizi?Xiao Yuntian picked up the gadget and looked it over.The appearance of this flute is quite similar to that of the original musical instrument flute on Earth. He had also learned folk wind music for a period of time before.After thinking about it, he boldly brought the flute to his mouth and blew twice.

Xiao Yuntian's ability is not outstanding, but he has one advantage, that is, he learns things very quickly.After holding the flute to his lips for a while, he was able to play simple tunes.

Nightingale saw that Mao Tuan fiddled with the wooden flute for a while, and then he was able to play a short little tune. Although the breath was not completely stable, the tune was complete, and there was no mistake in a single note from beginning to end.Seeing the tiny fingers on Maotuan's front paws nimbly pressing on the flute hole, his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't help admiring: "Xiantuan is really powerful!"

Mao Tuan giggled, he couldn't help but feel proud of the handsome guy's compliment.The wooden flute deftly twirled twice in its claws, Mao Tuan shook the bristling hair on top of his head, and his two short legs crossed into Erlang legs, making a chic gesture.

=====

In the process of playing the flute and practicing Nahun Jue, the afternoon was bored. Seeing that the sun was about to set and the annual Lantern Festival in Mucheng was about to begin, Xiao Yuntian couldn't help but cheer up.However, as soon as he stepped out, the emperor and his party met head-on...

"Hahaha. Your Majesty, fortunately, I came and waited early. It really is 'it's easy to come'!"

Mao Tuan poked out half of his body from Nightingale's arms, and sure enough, it was Quan Gui again!Why is this person like a stick of brown sugar, wanting to cling to the emperor all day long?

And Quan Gui is still very righteous: "The emperor promised someone Quan in the restaurant before that we will go to the Lantern Festival together at night! Come here..." He bowed in a dignified manner and said "please" "The carriages are all ready! Your Majesty, please come up."

Bai Shuyu was unmoved: "I have other plans tonight. You can do it yourself."

"Hey, how can this work? The emperor came to Mucheng after all, and I heard that you are going to leave tomorrow and go to another place. The emperor didn't tell you before coming to Mucheng. It's just that you can't do it in the past two days. It's really wronged to stay in the posthouse without making a sound. On the last night of Mucheng, as the owner of Mucheng, someone Quan must entertain him well, as a landlord!" Quan As Gui said, he stepped forward recklessly, pulled up Bai Shuyu's sleeves, and tried to force the emperor into the carriage.

"Hey, before it gets dark, someone Quan will accompany the emperor to walk around the Muhe River to find some delicious food. The emperor can buy whatever fun things he wants. More than half of the shops on the street by the river bank It's all opened by my Quan family! After that, let's rest in my mansion, the room is ready for the emperor." Quan Gui showed an intoxicated smile while moving, with hints in his words, " Tsk tsk... It's been so many years, someone Quan wants to catch up with the emperor..."

Bai Shuyu was annoyed by Quan Gui's strong tugging, and his blood surged up.He flipped his hand over and slapped Quan Gui's wrist with his palm.The latter let out a scream, rubbed the sore spot on his wrist, and jumped aside.

The officials accompanying Bai Shuyu were more or less embarrassed when they saw this scene. They all looked away and remained silent.Nightingale stepped forward and stood in front of Bai Shuyu.

"Hey, weren't you the guard next to the emperor yesterday?" Quan Gui's gaze stayed on Nightingale's face, sizing him up wantonly, and there was a hint of mischief in his narrowed eyes, which made Nightingale frown.

"Quan Gui, don't be rude."

The sudden appearance of a low-pitched male voice attracted the attention of everyone present, even Quan Gui, who was sloppy and entangled, was taken aback for a moment.He turned around and stared blankly at the man striding forward.

Quan Gui looked a little flustered: "Cousin... why are you here..."

The man didn't answer him, but just gave him a stern look.Quan Gui, who was flaunting his power before, immediately faltered, and lowered his head timidly, not daring to speak out.

Behind Bai Shuyu, an official exclaimed in a low voice: "This is the young master of the Quan family, Quan Lin!" Before people recovered from their surprise, they saw the man named Quan Lin walk up to him. In front of Bai Shuyu, he bowed respectfully.

"The emperor came to Mucheng, and my minister was late to pick him up. Please forgive me."

Bai Shuyu did not reject him as simply as he did to Quan Gui.His light-colored eyes quietly stared at the bowing man in front of him, and watched for a long time, until Xiao Yuntian felt something was wrong from the long staring.The atmosphere at the scene was deadlocked strangely.
